Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated endoscopic treatment and drug therapy for peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) across 62 gastroenterology units in Hungary, finding significant differences between high case volume (HCV) and low case volume (LCV) practices.
- - HCV units had a higher mean number of PUB cases per month (12.9) compared to LCV units (5.3) and utilized endoscopic therapies and PPI treatments more frequently, reflecting better adherence to evidence-based guidelines.
- - Mortality rates were lower in HCV units (2.7%) than in LCV units (4.3%), suggesting that higher case volume correlates with improved patient outcomes in PUB management.
